Hi Debra,
This is a wonderful "artist at work" painting, fresh and strong. (I thought for a minute that it was one of your pastels.) I also admire the way you've framed his head between the two verticals.
You know, I'm wondering if one of the reasons everyone says your work is so direct and bold is not just because of your painterly strokes, but also perhaps the way you frequently crop your subjects. You seem to crop tighter than many other painters do, what do you think?
